Koraat 14 2.0 – For Heavy Beards
A while back, I posted my impressions of Ulrik’s 14 2.0 blades. I stated in my post that Ulrik’s new 14 2.0 razor was excellent but also had to give a nod to how well my Filly EPBD performed on my beard type. If you’re interested, here’s a link to that post: https://straightrazorpalace.com/razo...ml#post1808590
After posting those impressions, Ulrik worked extensively with me on a prototype 14 2.0 grind for heavy beard types like mine (I sent Ulrik an EPBD so that he could evaluate the grind and etc.).
Ulrik’s 14 2.0 prototype grind arrived three weeks ago, and I have almost shaved exclusively with the razor during that time. I’ve put the blade through a variety of paces: In addition to my normal daily shaves, several times I shaved with the razor after going 2 and 3 days between shaves.
Bottom line up front: Ulrik’s prototype grind for heavy, tough beards on my 14 2.0 nails it! The razor has performed beautifully in all the testing I did and with all the different soaps I used. While Ulrik’s 14 2.0s are outstanding razors, his grind for heavy beards takes the razor to an even higher level—WOW!
If you’re considering a 14 2.0 and have a tough, heavy beard, without reservations, I highly recommend this superb grind! Or as my soap bro Andrew (Phrank) might put it, “Lord Thunderin’ Jesus, buy the razor with this grind!”
A big public shout out to you, Ulrik! Thank you very much for working with me on this project: My face and beard also both thank you for creating such a beautiful performing razor—you are the man!!!
